Doesn't Greek Mythology almost relate to everything you pretty much do in life? Decision making-wise. Greek Mythology uses stories to portray logic in a comical sense, so I believe it to be. Such as, flying too close to the sun with wax assembled wings will melt the wax and cause your inevitable plunge to doom. Or, being sly and coy to others by tricking them into doing certain forms of work for you. Such as the story with Hercules and Atlas. Logic, doing what makes sense. "Hey, he's got super human strength too, so why can't he hold the Earth?"
But, to relate the bible to Greek Mythology now..... you'd have to say that everything we do in our lives is so closely related to the bible, that life would be the bible. This is where I don't think Greek Myths and the Bible are related. Oh sure, every book, belief, and story can tell you, "Live a good life. Work hard and your hard work pays off. Blah blah blah." What logic is there in the Bible?
I think most people forget that many Greek Myths were written by scientists. If not scientists, philosophers. People who spent their entire life thinking, thinking, and more thinking. Thinking about anything, their current life, their family, their friends, a possible greater being, the future, the past, right vs wrong, anything. Most of the time, about something that's uncertain, out of reach. Not by people who've spent their entire life praying, hoping, and dreaming.
This is just what I think, I could be wrong, but don't take my word for it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
